We all know that conflict creates displacement. Life becomes untenable in different ways, and people are forced to move; the majority ending up as internally displaced within nation-state, while others wind refugee camps neighboring countries, a very few seek asylum faraway places. The recent war Ukraine Syria since 2011 seemingly fit into this classical conception of why how displaced. Sudden ...

The development of optimized codes is time-consuming and requires extensive architecture, compiler, and language expertise, therefore, computational scientists are often forced to choose between investing considerable time in tuning code or accepting lower performance. In this paper, we describe the first steps toward a fully automated system for the optimization of the matrix algebra kernels t...

Code-Mixing (CM) is a very commonly observed mode of communication in a multilingual configuration. The trends of using this newly emerging language has its effect as a culling option especially in platforms like social media. This becomes particularly important in the context of technology and health, where expressing the upcoming advancements is difficult in native language. Despite the chang...

Numerical simulations involving multiple, physically different domains can be solved effectively by coupling simulation programs, or solvers. The coordination of the different solvers is commonly handled by a coupling shell. A coupling shell synchronizes the execution of the solvers and handles the transfer of data from one physical domain to another. In this paper, we introduce Flecs, a flexib...

A common problem of CSCL (Computer-Supported Cooperative Learning) is addressed: How can we coordinate goal-directed, effective interaction in a group of learners? We introduce the concept of learning protocols which originates in script theory. We then discuss which dimensions of cooperative learning can be supported by learning protocols and propose how learning protocols can be integrated in...

Dynamic binary translation (DBT) translates binary code from one instruction set architecture (ISA) to another (same or different) ISA at runtime, which makes it very useful in many applications such as system virtualization, whole program analysis, system debugging, and system security. Many techniques have been proposed to improve the efficiency of DBT systems for long-running and loop-intens...

In the work at hand, we first demonstrate that Android malware can bypass current automated analysis systems, including AV solutions, mobile sandboxes, and the Google Bouncer. A tool called Sand-Finger allowed us to fingerprint Android-based analysis systems. By analyzing the fingerprints of ten unique analysis environments from different vendors, we were able to find characteristics in which a...
